Any ideas please?

Alternator, belt tensioner, water pump, idler pulley. Or just belt past it?
Power steering pump (check fluid level).
Aircon.


Don't rule out it picking something up thats rubbing on a belt/belts somewhere.

More than likely, as others have said, one of the belts or pulleys.--My air-con belt was starting to crack in lots of places so I fitted a new one.--This new belt, when I switch on the air-con, happily whines away all by itself. As the belt was new I guess what I can hear is wear on the pulley.----

Chances are if it been in the oven, the heat has affected one of Your belts or most likely a tensioner .

Thanks all for suggestions Took it to a mate of mine who is THE Rover expert round here, and let him have a listen. We both agreed it's from the water pump area, but not as bad as I thought, me being paranoid about any noises etc So, until it gets really bad, It'll do for now
Thanks again everyone
